Steer the AI Video Agent Shot by Shot and Ship an Ad You Recognize

Your story card is the thing that renders, so every beat is yours to change. Edit a line, redraw a panel, or pin a subject with a reference sheet, and the AI video agent follows.

You get back a video you never asked for.

Change One Line in the Story Card and the Whole Ad Follows

Edit the story card — beats, camera, wardrobe, place — and it compiles straight into the next render. Your change reaches the video, word for word.

Turn One Sentence Into a Proven Ad Shape, Not a Blank Prompt Box
You know the product but not how the ad should open.

Turn One Sentence Into a Proven Ad Shape, Not a Blank Prompt Box

Send one brief and the agent picks a tested ad skeleton, then fills it beat by beat. You start from a real ad structure, never a blank box.

You only find out the shot is wrong after you paid.

See Four Panels Per Beat Before You Pay for the Render

Look at a drawn frame for every beat first, built from the same reference sheets the render will use. You catch a wrong beat on a picture, not on a finished ad. Edit a beat and its panel goes stale, so you always know which one to redraw.

Keep the Same Face, Jacket and Room in Every Beat
Your character turns into somebody else two shots in.

Keep the Same Face, Jacket and Room in Every Beat

Pin each subject and place to a reference sheet, and no subject stays off screen more than two beats. You get one person, one product and one room, all the way through. You get a three-view sheet — front, three-quarter and back — for any subject you have no photo of.

Your stitched clips drift, and the seams show on every cut.

Render the Whole Ad in One Take, Not Six Stitched Clips

Send it once and the whole ad renders in a single Seedance call, up to thirty seconds long. Your cut holds together because it was never cut apart. Go past thirty seconds, cross into another scene, or redo one beat, and it splits into clips.

Fix the One Beat That Missed and Keep the Cut You Liked
You used to remake the entire video for one bad second.

Fix the One Beat That Missed and Keep the Cut You Liked

Ask for beat three again and only beat three re-renders, then drops back into the cut. You pay for one beat instead of a whole new ad.

You do not want an agent quietly draining your balance.

Press Generate Yourself, Because the Planner Never Can

You see a price card with Generate and Always allow before every paid render, and the planner has no confirm. You press the button, or nothing renders at all. Turn Always allow off again from the story card whenever you want the question back.

Pin a Hard Beat to Its First and Last Frame and Stop Rerolling
Your hardest beat will not hold on words alone.

Pin a Hard Beat to Its First and Last Frame and Stop Rerolling

Switch on precise mode and each beat renders between two storyboard frames you already approved. You get the beat exactly as you drew it.

Put an AI Video Ad Agent to Work on the Spots You Owe This Week

You have a product, a deadline and no crew. Describe the spot once, change the beat you do not like, and post the file the same afternoon.

Turn One Product Photo Into a 20-Second Spot You Can Post

Get a short product ad out of one photo and one sentence, with no crew and no editor. You attach the product photo, name the feeling you want, and get back a four-beat story card and a 20-second MP4 you can post.

Hold the Same Founder and the Same Room Across Every Beat

Keep one person and one location recognisable from the first beat to the last. You upload a photo of yourself and the room, and reference sheets carry both into every beat of the finished cut.

Ship a Hook, a Demo and a Close in One Vertical Ad

Produce a UGC-style social ad with a hook, a product demo and a close, several times a week. You describe the hook and the product, and the agent fills a tested ad shape, then renders it at 9:16 for social.

Re-Render the Beat That Missed and Keep the Rest of the Cut

Fix a single wrong shot without paying to remake the whole video. You point at the beat that is wrong, and only that beat renders again before it drops back into the same cut.

See the Price Before the AI Video Agent Spends a Single Credit

You never spend on a guess. Every paid render stops on a card that names the cost, and the number on that card is the number that leaves your balance.

40 starter credits on a new account

Sign up and 40 credits arrive on your balance. Drafting the story costs nothing at all — only rendering and the pictures the agent draws spend credits.

The number on the card is the number that leaves your balance

The quote and the charge are checked against the same request, so what you approved is what gets deducted.

The planning model cannot confirm for you

A render is submitted only when a person presses Generate on the price card. The model has no way to answer on your behalf, and typing the word confirm does not start it.

Failed renders return your credits automatically

If a render fails or is interrupted, the credits it was holding come back to your balance on their own.

At most five beats, and no subject waits more than two

The ad skeletons cap a story at five beats and bring every subject back within two beats, because identity drifts fast as the gap grows.

Your project keeps the brief, the story and every render

Close the tab and nothing you submitted is lost. A brief you never sent is not kept as a draft.

Seedance 2.5 at 720p by default

Every render runs on Seedance 2.5 at 720p unless you name a different model in the chat, and the text side runs on GLM-5.3 Flash.

Sorting the brief, writing the story and compiling the render do not spend credits.

Always allow is an account setting. A project set to confirm every step still asks you every time.

You own the photos and clips you upload and the video that comes back, commercial use per plan terms.

Spend Credits on the Ad, Not on Guesswork

Use the same credits you already spend on the rest of Seadanse, and the agent draws on that one balance. New accounts start with 40 credits, and every quote appears before you commit.

Subscription plans

  • What a render costs depends on the model, the resolution and the length you chose. The agent works the exact number out and puts it on the price card before anything is submitted.
  • Open the pricing page or the cost calculator for plans and packs. The agent spends the same balance as the composer, so one plan covers both.
  • New accounts get 40 credits. Planning is free; rendering and the pictures the agent draws are what spend them.

Get Straight Answers on the AI Video Agent Before Your First Render

Wondering what an agent actually does with your brief, or what happens when one beat lands wrong? These are the questions people ask before they start.

What is an AI video agent?

An AI video agent takes one plain-language brief and runs the whole job. It works out what you are advertising, picks an ad structure and writes the beats. Then it draws a storyboard and renders the video. People also call this autonomous video generation, or an AI agent for video creation. On Seadanse it is the Agent lane of the composer, and the story it writes stays editable the whole way through.

AI video agent vs AI video generator: what actually changes?

An AI video generator keeps you in the one-prompt-one-clip habit. You write a line, you get a clip, and you assemble the ad yourself. An AI video agent works one level up: it turns a brief into a shot list, holds the same subject across beats, and hands back the finished ad. The unit stops being a clip and becomes a video. AI video agents also carry state, so an edit to beat two survives into the next render.

What can the AI video agent actually make?

Short ads. Product spots, founder stories, UGC-style social clips and unboxing beats are what the ad skeletons were built for. You get a video file to download and post yourself. It does not make talking-avatar presenters or long-form explainers.

Do I need to write prompts or a script?

No. Write the way you would brief a freelancer: what you sell, who it is for, how long it should run. The agent turns that into beats, camera notes and locked descriptions, and you edit the story card in the same plain words. You never write a render prompt yourself.

Which model does the AI video agent render on?

Seedance 2.5 at 720p by default. Name another model in the chat and the agent pins it for that project instead. The text side, which sorts the brief and writes the story, runs on GLM-5.3 Flash, and none of that planning spends credits.

How does it keep the same person, product and place across beats?

Three things do it. Reference sheets lock each subject and location, so every beat renders from the same picture instead of a fresh guess. A subject with no photo gets a three-view sheet first: front, three-quarter and back. And no subject stays off screen for more than two beats, because identity drifts fast as the gap grows.

Can I approve each step instead of letting it run?

Yes. Turn on step-by-step confirmation and the agentic video workflow stops before every spend: the location plate, the subject sheets, the storyboard, then the render. Each stop shows its own price. Leave it off and the agent works straight through, still stopping at the render price card.

What if one beat comes out wrong — do I pay for the whole ad again?

No. Ask for that beat again and only that beat re-renders, then drops back into the same cut. You pay for one beat, not for a new video. If a render fails outright, the credits it was holding come back on their own.

What does a render cost?

It depends on the model, the resolution and the length. The agent works the exact number out and shows it on a price card before anything is submitted. Drafting the story costs nothing. Open the pricing page or the cost calculator for plans and packs.

How long does it take to get a video?

Drafting the story usually takes a minute or two. Storyboard panels add a few minutes on top. The render itself depends on the model and the length you picked, and the job keeps running if you close the tab.

Can it post the video to TikTok or Instagram for me?

No. You download the file and post it yourself. That is deliberate — nothing reaches your accounts without you, and the caption and the timing stay yours.

Can I bring my own product photo, clip or product link?

Yes. Attach a JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4 or MOV, or paste a product link on its own line. Whatever you attach becomes the reference the beats are built from, so your real product turns up in the ad.
